Buyer’s Guide: 2011 Jeep Liberty

For 2011, the Jeep Liberty is unchanged, except for a new available option: a Media Centre with DVD/CD/MP3 and hard disc drive, and Garmin navigation. The system includes an auxiliary input, USB port, voice command, 30-GB hard drive and album artwork.

Sharing its platform with the Dodge Nitro, the Jeep Liberty uses a 3.7-litre V6 with four-speed automatic transmission. Trim levels are the Sport, the Canada-exclusive North Edition, Renegade, and Limited. The Sport, North Edition and Limited use Command-Trac II, a part-time, shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive system. These can be optioned to Selec-Trac II, an active full-time four-wheel system that is standard on the Renegade.
